[patrike]

Updated miners

Z-Enemy 1.18
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3378390.0

- Major performance improvements: 10-15% for Xevan (+ fixed reduced hashrate issue from 1.17)
- Minor performance improvements for other algos
- Stability improvements for XDNA

CryptoDredge 0.9.1
https://github.com/technobyl/CryptoDredge/releases/

New CryptoNightHaven algorithm
Fix issue related to many rejected shares on NiceHash pool when used CryptoNight-like algorithms

It would be nice to get these updates in for 4.6, but also could Cryptonight be enabled for CryptoDredge? Right now it won't show up in the benchmark for several algos that Dredge (and other miners, iirc) support.

In the next release of Awesome Miner that is about to be released, the new CryptoDredge and Z-enemy miners will be included. For CryptoDredge, the Cryptonight based algorithms will also be enabled by default.

For the benchmark, please also note that the only algorithms listed are those where you have a pool enabled for the profit switcher (see Options dialog, Profit Switching section)

Hello Patrike,
I wanted to talk again about the possibility of saving power used by graphic cards when benchmarking.
You already stated that it would be possible only with compatible miners.
But would it be possible for AM to look at those values directly whatever mining software is used ? As software like Hardware Monitor or GpuZ....

This feature is not yet implemented. Either it can be supported by getting the power usage via nvidia-smi or via some of the mining software. The benefit of using nvidia-smi is that it's independent of mining software being used.

What the latest version of Awesome Miner support is an improved "Save hashrate" feature for a running miner, where it also can save the power usage to the profile.

Awesome Miner Version 5.5

 ASIC mining
  - The Remote Proxy can do automatic discovery of new ASIC miners on the network and automatically add and remove new miners in Awesome Miner. Intended for large scale mining operations.
 GPU mining
  - Remote Agent on Linux (beta). See the documentation on the web site for details about the Linux support.
  - Display of AMD and nVidia GPU driver version on the Summary tab for each Managed Miner and Managed Profit Miner
  - The dialog to save hashrate can also save the current power usage for the selected GPU (if reported by the mining software)
  - Benchmark can be started with custom command line arguments
 Performance
  - Significant performance improvements to support very large number of miners
  - User interface more responsive when using large number of miners
 Configuration
  - Introducing multiple columns when displaying External Miners, Managed Miners and Pools in the options dialog
  - Profit switching interval can be specified in both minutes and seconds and allows an interval as low as 30 seconds
  - Profit switching setting for the minimum time a miner will stay on the same pool before i can change to another pool
  - Filtering for Managed Template section of Options dialog
  - Pools and online service entries can be configured with a Personalization string to support Equihash variants that requires this string to be provided when mining
  - The maximum API connection timeout can be configured to 30 seconds
 User interface
  - Selected lines on the Balance tab can be copied to the clipboard using Ctrl+C
  - Updated coin images and cleanup of old coins
  - Allow sorting by software in the Benchmark dialog
 Features and integration
  - Include the Mining Pool Hub pool for BTG and the Zergpool pools for Equihash variants
 Rules and API
  - Added API to get a list of coins and information from the Coins tab (/api/coins/stats)

Sure it would be great to use an independent software like nvidia-smi !
Until you implement this in AM, i won't bother anymore with power consumption because if you want to be precise, you should make new measure each time you change your mining software. When you have 3 or more profit profiles, you can spend more time making measures than mining...

Hello
There is something wrong with T-Rex miner when i try to use it throug "managed templates" and definied pool. It alwasy eats first two letters from pool adress.
I tried to add random two letters to push through the correct adress but it's not connectting too. The problem exists all the time when i started use your software, im unable to use T-Rex through Awsomeminer. Other miner like z-enemy, ccminer works fine.

I wasn't able to reproduce this issue, but I would like to learn more as it be a very specific scenario where this doesn't work correctly.

Can you share the diagnostics output (the Diagnostics button in the toolbar) where the first two letters are missing? Thanks!

t-rex is extremely unstable when an intensity is indicated, if it is left undefined, it does not usually give problems. Then it is to look for an intensity that does not cause it.

I in a rig when mine x17, 16 r and s, I use T-rex, and if I use a moderate intensity defined, sometimes I throw an error box. When you try it for the second time it enters without problems.

Solution. try not to use intensity. Even putting the same intensity that applies automatically, gives failures, is something that should still debug a lot in that miner, it is not Awesome's fault. Test without intensity and I'll check it.

hi. is there a way to list my new pool into your awsome miner application? how much would it cost?

[NetWhiz]

Was it only sgminer benchmark that didn't work as expected or was it any other mining software as well that failed? Is Sgminer working fine when when you use it outside the benchmark, at show up with hashrate in the list of miners in Awesome Miner?

Only sgminer. No, sgminer does not report any data back to AM. I have tried with "--text-only" as well. What address should I send the log to again?

I have tried it locally and on a remote miner with the same issue ... not data being sent back to AM for display. The console shows and it says it is running, but no API data.

[vitlab]

How in the program it is possible to change the location of the USA on EUROPE for zergpool?
Thank you.

have you tried for the api data to show

Code:

--api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1/24,W:192.168.1.0/24

Id like to request an option if it hasnt been thought about already.

There any way we can reset the time connected (the grey number under the temperature") so we can keep track of how long its been on a pool? Like antminers will be connected for weeks while there is a ton of pool changing happening. Without having to restart it that is.

If its easy to do, is this possible? Even if its just in the right click menu as "reset counter" or something.

For the moment it's only the pools that are requested by many users that are included by default. Any pool can of course be added manually so some pool operator puts instructions on their web site how to use Awesome Miner for their pool.

For the future I'm planning to have a more flexible way where the community can define pools, and anyone can include these pools from a larger library of pools.

A Managed Miner (and Managed Profit Miner) do have API settings for cgminer/sgminer where the API should be enabled by default. These settings are however not visible if you have a Managed Profit Miner. What you could try is to re-create the miner to get all the default settings and see if it's working better.

As toptek12 suggested (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.msg45411663#msg45411663), you could also manually try to enable the API via the command line.

If you are unable to resolve the issue, please send me an e-mail (info[at]awesomeminer.com) and include the log file. I'm interested in looking at the command line that Awesome Miner uses to launch sgminer.

Awesome Miner supported this in the past, but then the recommendation from the Zergpool operator was to not use that concept anymore and Awesome Miner was changed according to this.

This is the uptime of the miner and Awesome Miner is displaying what the miner itself is reporting.

I think what Awesome Miner needs in general is better insight related to how much time is spent on each pool, algorithm and so on. Thanks for your feedback!

Hi are you looking to add support for progpow and BCI

I've had a few requests by mail about this one recently but I've not had the time to investigate yet. Do you have any link with more information about it? Is there a monitoring interface (API) where Awesome Miner could connect? Thanks!

[patrike]

please Coinscalculator to 3h average, full interesant and easy by programer

In the past this wasn't provided by the API, but I had a look again and it's at least possible to get the 3h Difficulty value. There are however no 3h values for exchange rate and so on.

My computer is not working. Warning is not allowed to start.

Anyway to make the miner profit switch between pools I set up?
